TO THE ELECTORS OF THE NORTHERN DIVISION.

GENTLEMEN, — My absence in the bush has prevented me sooner announcing my compliance with the wishes of not a few of my friends to offer myself as a Candidate for the representation of the Northern Division at the forthcoming Provincial Council ; and although my opponents have the advantage of a considerable start of me in the field, yet I hope by your general support soon to overtake them and beat them easily. I am one of the very earliest settlers in this locality, June last making the time ten years ; and having therefore been so long leading a country life and pursuing the avocations of an agriculturist in all its departments, I have naturally become practically acquainted with the hardships and difficulties with which the country settleis have to contend, and which aie so detrimental to their interests and welfare. I thus publicly offer my sincere thanks to my friends who have come forward and offered me their vote and support, and I respectfully solicit the votes and support of those who have not yet pledged themselves. I feel a pride in responding to the invitations of my friends, and should the honour which they wish to be conferred on me, be sjiven on the day of election, I shall assume the onerous and responsible duties of the office with a desire to act in the best possible manner for the interests of our adopted country. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Thomas Paton. Edenhill, Epsom, July 10th, 1852.

SIR, — We, the Undersigned voters in the Northern Division, respectfully request that you will allow yourself to be nominated as a Candidate for a seat in the Piovincial Council of New Ulster at the ensuing Election, pledging ourselves to do our utmost to ensure your return in the event of your compliance with our wishes.

TO J. LOGAN CAMPBELL, ESQ.

Auckland, July 6, 1852. SIR, — Convinced that you are eminently qualified to occupy a seat in the Provincial Council of New Ulster, from your long experience in the colony, known moderation, and just views on the various complicated and important questions which must come under immediate consideration, — we, the undersigned, respectfully request that you will allow yourself to be nominated as a Candidate for the Suburbs of Auckland.

To the Gentlemen signing the foregoing Requisition, and other Electors of the Suburban District of Auckland.

Gentiemcn, — Whatever disclina'ion I may have previously entertained against entering the arena of Colonial Politics, the flattering requisition you have done me the honour to address to me, and the'peculiar juncture of Colonial Affairs, induce me, at once, to assent to your wishes, and to announce myself as a Candidate for the representation of the Suburbs of Auckland in the forthcoming Provincial Couucil of New Ulster. As one of the early Pioneers drawn towards New Zealand in its earliest period of British settlement, I have necessarily acquired an intimate personal knowledge of its past history, and may therefore be presumed to be competent to form a tolerably correct estimate of its present wants and future requirements. Whatever measures may be brought befoie the Council, calculated to advance the prosperity of the colony, shall, in the event of my election, command my careful and unbiassed consideration ; fotwhatever couise I may deem it my duty to pursue, you may feel assured that your inteiesls shall be as sedulously and conscientiously guarded as my own — indeed they are identical. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, j J. Logan Campbell. i July 8, 1852.
